Ramadan’s Final Countdown Begins: Kahk, Chaos & an Ostrich on the Loose 🏃♂️🦩


Good morninggg, Caiirrrooooo! ☀️ Just 3 more days till the long-awaited Eid break, and before you know it—Ramadan will be behind us! 🌙✨ This Ramadan has been one for the books—from next-level mosalsalat, the casts’ viral BTS moments, and unexpected collabs to 16K kahk, and ostriches casually roaming the streets of Cairo. 😂 Can we say we’ve seen it all? Pretty much. But if you need a refresher, you know what to do—just refresh our feed. 🔄📲 From the hilarious to the heartwarming, this month has been a ride, but every last moment is worth cherishing. 💛 With Eid is just around the corner, let's savor what’s left—the chaos, kindness, and everything in between. ✨
LOVIN BUZZ
✈️A British Tourist Accused ‘Suburban Americans’ of Damaging Egyptian Tourism’s Reputation!
A British tourist recently sparked an online debate after sharing his unexpectedly positive experience in Cairo. Posting on X, he revealed that he almost skipped the trip due to negative online reviews but was surprised to find Cairo nothing like what the complaints described
Many online reviews paint Egypt as overwhelming due to aggressive sales tactics and scams, discouraging potential visitors. However, the tourist pointed out that much of this criticism often comes from travelers with unrealistic expectations, particularly those from privileged backgrounds unfamiliar with haggling or different cultural norms.
His post gained massive traction, dividing opinions. Some echoed his sentiment, arguing that many Western tourists judge destinations unfairly based on their own cultural lens. Others defended the negative reviews, saying they reflect genuine experiences of feeling pressured or misled.
Amid the heated debate, many Egyptians and seasoned travelers jumped in to correct misconceptions. They emphasized that while scams exist—as in any major tourist destination—Cairo is full of warmth, history, and hospitality. The conversation highlighted a crucial issue in travel discourse: the role of cultural bias in shaping a country’s online reputation.
The viral discussion has reignited interest in Cairo, with some users even reconsidering their hesitation to visit. Whether this will change perceptions in the long run remains to be seen, but one thing is certain—Egypt’s charm continues to surprise those who give it a chance.

LOVIN EID
💰🍬EGP 16K for a Box of Kahk?! This Year’s Prices Are Breaking Records—And Wallets!
This year’s box of Kahk might break the bank this Eid!
Ramadan is wrapping up, and you know what that means—kahk season is officially here! But this year, something other than powdered sugar is leaving a mark… the price tags!
Word on the street (and all over social media) is that one luxury bakery has priced a single box of kahk at a jaw-dropping EGP 16,000! While this might be an extreme case, there’s no denying that kahk prices have skyrocketed across the board. On average, a decent box will now set you back anywhere between EGP 800 to EGP 2,500—and let’s be honest, that’s enough to make anyone second-guess their sweet tooth!
Inflation has undoubtedly played a role, but people can’t help but poke fun at how kahk is turning into a luxury item. Social media reactions have been golden, with memes comparing kahk to designer handbags and tweets joking that families might need a payment plan just to afford their holiday treats this year.
Despite the hefty price tags, one thing is for sure—kahk is a non-negotiable part of Eid. Whether you’re splurging on the fancy stuff or sticking to a good old homemade batch, the tradition (and the sugar rush) lives on!
What do you think—would you ever pay that much for a box of kahk, or are you dusting off grandma’s recipe instead?
